Sitting Pretty! Accent Chairs for Smaller Homes

Just look at that gorgeous wooden scrolled arm chair! I'm not crazy about the zebra rug and fringe on the couch, but the chair is 'to die for'! A well proportioned accent chair is a must for the smaller home. Both the living and family rooms should have at least one.

For smaller spaces, accent chairs should not be heavily skirted or overly wide. A width of no more than 33" is best and 30" to 28" is ideal. Here are some accent chairs well suited to any smaller room. The fabric on most of the upholstered examples can be ordered in a variety of colors and patterns or customized.

Dining Room armchairs are good choices for accent chairs like these from Pottery Barn. I happen to own several dining chairs from the Napoleon collection.

Until next time!
